well-being II

This past weekend my friend Dan and I spent the day eating galbi (Korean barbeque), getting coffee & walking around COEX mall gawking at all the nifty toys in the Apple & O'Link stores. After that I didn't feel much like going home, so he and I wandered around Gangnam looking for signs, products or advertisements touting the ever-popular Korean catch phrase "well-being". So what is well-being you ask? From the below images I don't think anyone can say for sure...
See for yourself.


To start we have some well-being rice (the well-being is written in Korean).

I think it's some sort of marketing ploy to keep the citizens from becoming depressed.
